"B&W Handyman was great to work with today. I received prompt and regular communication and was given flexible options on when to get my work done. He arrived promptly and worked efficiently. He gave me a clear budget before the work was completed and stuck to it. I am very happy to have my new garage shelves installed and trust the safety of them as well."

"Deans painting came to take care of a nearly full interior paint job. They painted walls, ceiling, trim, and closets. It was so nice to move in with a fresh clean paint job, and the work done was great. I would hire them again for future needs, or happily refer someone to them."

"Mr. Barrera of pro Systems is super skilled.; an amazing job at a great price. After complaining to the BBB about their member Stellar Paint Co for 12 months and getting no response from Stellar, I went on line to Home Advisor. Pro Systems called me quickly, estimated the job of repainting the rear of my house, started at schedule today and finished today. Problem solved. Actually a pleasant experience. note: BBB tried to help by contactiong Stellar at least twice but to no avail. Thanks for the referral."

"Sampson did a wonderful job. He replaced all of my interior doors with solid wood doors and frames. He also replaced my tool shed door outside. He worked with me to see what the best option would be for my house as well as handles and type of trim I would need to fit properly. He walked me through what he was going to do. He went and got all of the supplies, including the paint and brushes. He even painted my doors to the color I picked out from his samples. He did a phenomenal job and I felt comfortable with him working in my home. I would recommend him for any job, and plan to hire him in the future as well. He is a skilled craftsman, learns quickly and adapts to any circumstance."

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.
Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.
Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.
You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.
Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.
Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
